can i cancel my insurance?

[johnwayne]

wife got a new job with much better, and cheaper insurance. I called in to fedvip, they are telling me that i cant cancel until open enrollment. this will cost me probably a thousand dollars or more. Anyone know if there is any way to cancel without the qualifying life event.

Are you talking about your PSHB or FEDVIP? They have different rules for QLE.

both. im on hold with hrssc as we speak.

both

You should be able to change your PSHB if you do it within the first 60 days. Now the FEDVIP will have to wait till open season. Here's the link that can give you more info. I've gained/lost coverage under my spouse

Not sure there is a way to do so online. Make sure you are calling the right number.
